As much as Weird Alice would have loved to have been SMIDSYs new owners it looks like it will be going to Andy, but as long as it gets used as it was meant to be, it cant be a bad thing. It would have been nice to stick one of our sponsors stickers on the side, just to keep the biker theme going but not to worry.

SMIDSYs actually a robot which is great for us as a team. Paul and Colin who have been part of the team since Colchester will be mainly looking after it.

Its also great for Luke and Colin to be able to give out the build your own SMIDSY sheets. The autograph signing is something they both really enjoy and its something different. Lukes built loads of these in the past and really enjoyed it.

Paul and Colin wont be at the UK champs as theyre in the states but if (And from Robins post above it is an if) we get it, they may be receiving a delivery of some batteries and stuff to bring back. (Pauls mum has already commented on the fact that shes developing rather a large stack of boxes there)

The storage box to robot ratio seems to get higher and higher as time goes by until you start asking yourself the question What is this for and exactly why do we have this many? I do like the idea of bringing supplies back from the states though.

Robin called me earlier and to be honest he has received a fantastic offer.

Only problem he has is that his email has gone down and they didnt leave a phone number.

As he needs to get rid before the 17th, theres still hope

Andy

PS: Because Im a soft git if you send me an email, Ill pass on your number to Robin :sad:

wow, 2:20am, that was a long day!

Congratulations to Andy, I hope it all goes well for you. With any luck some of our team will be interested in attending some shows to see how things have come along over the last few years.

Thanks very much for all the kind words from everyone else, its nice to know we made an impression.
